That White Cat Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I see him through my window

The white neighbourhood cat marking my house

It's supposed to be my house

But I guess, according to cats, now it's his house

Mama told me, "Things will leave you

They get broken, they get lost

The only thing you can trust

Is what you lived through"

[Pre-Chorus]

Mama, how 'bout when I die?

What do you hold onto? Hey

[Chorus]

Ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

[Verse 2]

Gotta go to work

To pay for that cat's house

For the red-corseted wasp

Who lives in the roof

For the family of possums

For the bugs who drink my blood

And the birds who eat those bugs[Pre-Chorus]

So that white cat can kill the birds

What do you hold onto? Hey

[Chorus]

Ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya, ya

Ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya, ya, ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya, ya
